File:Rock recognition ESA383501.jpg

We have no proof, that the licence was ever valid in the past, the same problem like in this cases:

• Deletion requests/File:Matthias Maurer space food tasting in Russia ESA22249382.jpeg
• Deletion requests/File:ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer and NASA astronaut Raja Chari during space food tasting in Russia ESA22249498.jpeg
• Deletion requests/Files in Category:ISS Expedition 56
• Deletion requests/File:Geological investigation ESA383984.jpg

Can we centralize this issue to clarify our behavior in the future? Ras67 (talk) 19:41, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

•  Keep, at least any that were part of User:Fæ/Project_list/ESA. Checking http://web.archive.org/web/20170923220051/http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2017/09/Geological_investigation shows that the image this DR is raised on was archived at archive.org four days after the upload to Commons. This version shows the correct "CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO" license. However there is a generic keep rationale, rather than relying on "accidental" post-upload archive.org versions, the original Python2 code used to upload these is still available. Due to a (not great) way of using a text scraper, along with the "Copyright" section at esa.int separating the photographer's name from the license text by html tags, the permissions text on the image page squashes both together with no space after the comma in the format ESA–Robbie Shone,CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO despite the source layout appearing to give a space. Any of the image pages with this presented format of license did not generate the license text, it logically had to be on the ESA source page and itself was the content of the "copyright" variable.

Source evidence (written May 2017):

# TEXT SCRAPING
lis = isoup.find('div', id = 'pi_details_content').find('ul').findAll('li')
        try:
            for li in lis:
                tt = li.find('b').text
                if tt == 'Copyright':
                    copyright = li.text[9:]

# COPYRIGHT TEST
if not re.search("CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO", copyright):
            print Fore.RED, filename
            print Fore.RED, "Copyright problem", link, Fore.WHITE
            continue

# GENERATING COMMONS IMAGE PAGE
d+= "\n| permission = " + copyright

if re.search("Copernicus Sentinel", copyright):
        d+="{{Cc-by-sa-3.0-igo}}"
        d+="\n{{Attribution-Copernicus}}"
        d+= "\n\n[[Category:Copernicus Sentinel Satellite Imagery]]"
else:
        copyright = re.sub("[,\s\.]*CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO", "", copyright)
        d+="{{Cc-by-sa-3.0-igo|1=" + copyright + "}}"
        d+="\n\n[[Category:ESA images (review needed)]]"

Effectively this fully automated process with an in built license check was as good as asking for the Flickrreview bot to check the license.

The CC BY-SA 3.0 release is non-revocable, nor has anyone from the ESA asked for a courtesy take-down.

Please abstract this keep rationale to any other DRs raised, it's not possible for me to spend time chasing every DR on historical uploads. --Fæ (talk) 12:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
